I survived! Race report to follow (just like the six others).
Also, I got a special prize for the sharpest “tan” line. It’s called “dummy award”. Did you know you don’t have to see the sun for it to burn you? Well. I did, but suddenly there was no more time for sun screen and body glide (hello, neck that got rubbed raw)…
Taking the extremely handy pump to make sure my tyres are rock hard. Also, starting in 3 hours 15 minutes, luckily too tired to be nervous!
So, where did I put my bike again…

I love running and cycling, and once I don't suck anymore at swimming, I want to become a (better) triathlete.
And after that, a true multisports endurance athlete. And after that...
